This is an older park and isn't made for the "Big Rigs" like ours. We were given a pull through; we almost bent our tow bar going into the pull through. When we left we had to back out of the space, trying to avoid the trees since we couldn't "pull through." We will not be back here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an older campground but still very well kept. The laundry facility is minimal but clean. The sites are well spaced apart. The staff is courteous and helpful. The pool is old but clean and nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Though the campground was paved it was full of pot holes and cracks. The pavement was also covered in debris from trees so you couldn’t ride your bikes and the kids had a hard time playing. The grass was over a foot high and in the site we were assigned to we had to go through the tall grass to get to our door. I had to struggle a bit with them to get it changed. The sites were right on top of each other. You couldn’t open your slide out all the way or you would hit the person next to you. The bath rooms were OK. I never saw a caretaker or host. You could get to the waterfall from the campground but had to pay to get around the other side or to hike down the trail. The petting zoo, gardens, train and miniature golf all had to be paid for. You got the “Free” Train ride only after you paid for your admission into the zoo and gardens. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park, friendly and helpful staff. Sites are close, but reasonably comfortable. Had nice conversations with surrounding campground guests. Also, every night around sundown we could hear a tiger roar across the canyon and found out later that they have a one on display at the city park on the other side of the falls. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The park was very clean and quiet. The pool was closed for repairs or cleaning. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We picked a weekend when the park was almost empty so that made it nice. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Not usually being a proponent of city parks, this was a pleasant surprise. You are able to get as close or as far away from others as you want. Hookups included electric, water, cable and sewer. Our AT&T air card worked great and was very fast. We didn't hook up to cable because we received 14 digital channels - everything we needed. It is a very quiet cg and we felt very comfortable. We had plenty of room. We took our chances and checked in about 2:00 pm and so didn't have problems with reservations and got the site we wanted. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Many of the sites were very close. One camper's awning is within inches of the next camper's slide-out. Campground does have a nice atmosphere and we will return. Office staff gave us incorrect information on rates when we made reservations but this was not a major problem. We discovered that other campers had also been given incorrect information. Perhaps the confusion was due to a car show held at the campground while we were there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We went with the in-laws here and had a wonderful time. Some of the sites are really close together, but the atmosphere makes up for that. You can here the water flowing from the falls, and the sites are shady. Camp fires are allowed at sites . This is a really nice park convenient to Gadsden. You must go to the flea market in Collinsville when you go here. I will return to this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have camped at this cg several times , and always enjoy it. This is a nice clean city run cg. The park next door had Christmas lights up , but we didn't visit this time. We hiked from the cg down under the falls. There were several nice views. I meet a reviewer that had posted for last November while we were there. Very nice couple. Some sites are to small for comfort, but overall sites are fairly nice sized. Just be careful in choosing if they will let you. The rate is with tax on a Good Sam discount. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A mostly shaded and pleasant campground. A lot of sites were close together. We a had a reservation snafu because of the campgrounds computer going down at the time we made our reservation. I would suggest confirming your reservation and getting the name of the person you talk to when you make your reservation as our neighbor had a problem too. The campground was full this time of year, but we had a very enjoyable time. I'll be coming back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Good for an overnight stop. All sites under the trees but very close. They said they had cable but it didn't work on our site. Baths needed some help in the cleanliness department. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
This was an overnight stop off that we drove into after along drive north. The hosts were very friendly and the campground was very clean. They seemed to be experiencing a drought, so there wasn't much of a waterfall in the city park next to the campground, except the hour long thunderstorm changed that to a beautiful falls early evening. This was a nice unexpected stop at a good price. We camped here in our motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice park located in the trees but the sites are rather close together. They have a special that we took advantage of in which if you stay 6 nights the 7th is free. The Falls is adjacent to the park and can be viewed for free however, there is a charge if you want to walk down to the base of the falls. The park is very quiet and peaceful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We got to this park late one night on our trip to Gatlinburg. I was a little nervous about the park not knowing anything about it. When we pulled up, The whole Noccolucca Park (not campground) was decorated in Christmas Lights! It was beautiful! The campground is right on a huge waterfall. The park is wooded but very clean. They even have security guards so we felt very safe. It has a nice playground and pool and the laundry area was really clean. I am going to plan a trip here soon one day to spend more time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here on our maiden voyage in our Motorhome. The park is quiet, well kept. we enjoyed our first camping experience here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our 4th time camping here. This one one of the best trips.Our daughter's 11 birthday camping trip and we loved it. Pool was open,and very controlled, campers only with a pool pass bracelet. Only complaint here is some sites are really close. A38,where we camped has a large grass area on the back side of the camper, but would have been very tight if A37 was occupied. All in all a great cg. The park is very nice and has a new entrance. Also has a new put-putt course that is alot of fun, and only $5 for adults. Very well worth the trip, and convenient to town. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park which is ran by the city of Gadsden. Some sites are really close together. Beautiful area; perfect for a stop-over. Clean restrooms and showers with hot water all day long! Very friendly staff. Enjoyed our stay here, even though we prefer more "country" campgrounds. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We just pulled in here for the night. We wish we had had more time to stay here. The view of the waterfall was amazing. It was dead of winter so the neighboring park and pool were closed but we were able to walk around the fall before we pulled out. It was beautiful. The staff was friendly and everything was very clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have camped here several times and enjoyed them all. Some sites are close, but not terribly close. This is run by the city, very clean. The cg is gated with a security number and guard after hours. Paved road, concrete sites. Great place for kids. Our first camping trip was here and it was a nice experience. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Another example of a campground out to make money no matter what. I made a reservation here over the phone in August. Today, 5 days before the reservation, I called to cancel as Hurricane Ivan is predicted to dump 10 or more inches of rain in the area. I was told there was a no refund policy. Not only is this not listed in their ads, I was never told they were going to charge my credit card to hold the reservation and was also never told about the no refund policy. This is one of the places to avoid with policies like that. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A shaded CG sitting up on a hill overlooking a small canyon with stream running through. This CG and the ajacent park has been closed for renovations. I think it is now open or will be soon (Spring/Summer 2005). The spaces were spaced far enough aprt for comfort but many used a common entrance (Y shaped). The CG is peaceful in the summer and the park is a great place for kids but it is hot. The renovations included upgrading the CG, playground equipment, the train was getting new track etc. The park has a small zoo including deer, llamas, goats, and I believe a tiger. They also have rabbits, and such. There are also several buildings depicting pioneer life in Northern Alabama. They have a great light display during the holiday season. The best CG in Gadsden but the entrance to the park can be a little confusing. This is owned by the City of Gadsden. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
If you like the gimmicky tourist-type place, then this campground is for you. The campground itself is nothing more than some dirt sites put among the trees. I don't recall the hook-ups being conveniently located. Once you finally get level (in the dirt), the scenery on the outer sites is nice. The campground is right next to the canyon in which the falls pour. I recall the swimming pool being small and adequate. Other than that, all of the tourist stuff is a very short walk over to the remainder of the park. The falls are interesting, but nothing in comparison to falls further north in Alabama. There is a train ride around the park and a very old putt-putt golf. The kids liked that. I doubt that we will ever go hear again as the campground does not appear to be designed for a relaxing lengthy stay. I think it is more of a place to stay when visiting the area. Just my opinion. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a city park and campground. The is a 90' waterfall, botanical gradens, hiking trails, sightseeing train, playground, carpet golf. It is a great place to go with kids. You are not allowed to play in the river wither above or below the waterfall. The Campground has level conrete pads and some grills. There are no fire rings but you are welcome to build one from rocks and have a fire. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is owned by the city of Gadsden. The campground is the cleanest I have ever camped at. There are concrete pads at most of the sites and about a third of the sites have cable hook ups. The restrooms are also the cleanest I have ever seen at a campground. The campground is about 5 miles from downtown Gadsden and is at the entrance to Noccalula falls. There are walking trails in the park and plenty for the kids to do. The pool area is also very nice, there is a store at the park also. If you are in north Ala. this is the campground to camp at. We camped here in a camper.
We stayed here in the off season, so the park wasn't crowded. However, the sites are close together,so it may get crowded in the high season. It is well maintained and in a good location for a quick off and on the highway. The staff was very accommodating. There is a huge Christmas light display that is supposed to be fantastic. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Campground is a bit quirky, but has a lot of character. Stayed overnight on way to Destin and enjoyed the brief stay. Management was very nice. Canceled return visit on day of arrival and was not charged. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a excellent campground. It is extremely well maintained. The bathrooms and showers were probably the best I've seen at a campground. A very family friendly campground. We really enjoyed the pool; however it would have been nice if there had been a playground as well. Wi-Fi worked well as did all of the other amenities. The campground was almost full, but we were fortunate to get a spot right on the water. Not a lot of shade, but some great views of the river. It's right next to the downtown area so there is a lot of eating and entertainment close by. The spaces were a bit close but not to the point of being uncomfortable. We had a nice experience and would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
WOW, what a GREAT Rv Park - We've been on the road between places for several weeks staying in okay rv parks along the way. Park is well landscaped, many sites are close, but pleasing. Park is on the Coosa River and seems surrounded by water making it cooler in hot summer heat. They have lovely walking paths and a chapel in the woods, so pleasing. We've found a wonderful place to come to when we are in this part of the south and feel very at home. Bring your fishing pole, the water is lovely. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very nice campground. Lots of trees, we had a site very close to the office and facilities, as well as close to the water. It was grassy and had several trees... really lovely. The only problem was that the campground is right by the Interstate, so there is road noise, but having the fan on in the camper during the night masked all but the loudest trucks, and it wasn't really a problem. They do have a very small dog walk area, but no one said anything when my husband walked the dogs around the water in the morning. Bathrooms were clean and nice, and the internet worked great! Sites were gravel but nice and level. Would definitely stay here again. Very convenient, and the people were nice! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We did not stay on a water front site but it didn't matter, we still had a great view. We loved this campground and will visit again! Walking trail was very nice. The atmosphere was great. Staff was nice and very helpful. Sites are nice and level. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Beautiful campground with lovely flowerbeds and swings throughout. Decorative outdoor lighting was more than adequate. The bathrooms and showers were spotless. The campground worker (Butch) was very nice and helpful. We will definitely return and highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stop at this campground whenever we are in the area. Our pull through was long and level with a good view of the river. There is a small chapel located in a grove of trees. Swings and a walking path are a nice feature in this area. There is also a river walk path. The grounds are landscaped and well kept. The staff is friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great place to stay. Staff was very helpful and the grounds were well cared for. Would have given the campground a ten , but the noise from road was a minor problem. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have stayed at this campground several times and find it very pleasant for one or several nights. The campground is beautifully decorated for Christmas. We look forward to staying here again and again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice campground with very beautiful scenery. The mountains in the morning light are worth getting up early to see. The staff was very friendly and escorted us to our site. They set us on a pull-thru so that we didn't have to disconnect as we were there for only 1 night. This makes a nice stop-over or extended stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was a very nice park with extremely friendly staff. The sites were gravel and level. The utilities were in good shape and well positioned on the site. There was standard cable TV with plenty of choices. There was plenty of grass between the sites and lots of shade. The sites were roomy and very easy to get in to. We had a pull-through site and had no problems positioning our 33’ fifth wheel. The restrooms were 5 star clean, air conditioned, and very well appointed. The pool was very nice with the clearest blue water we saw on our entire 17 day vacation. It was open late during our stay in mid July. We highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent park, clean and well kept. The sites are all easy to access and are level. The view is very nice from almost all of the sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is about 5 miles off the main highway but has shopping plazas about .3 mile away. If one wanted to eat out, there were several options available almost within walking distance. The park sits on a lake and is very picturesque. We had a site on the end of a row which overlooked the water and fishing docks. It was very nice. However, many of the sunny sites were very, very close together. The people across from us had their awning only part way out so it wouldn't touch the camper next to them. Fortunately for them they were camping together. I would not have been happy with that setup at all. So, for us, I like what we got but if I were going to stay again, I'd call ahead to see what was available. The pool was not yet open for the season. We were there for only one night but enjoyed our short stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent stop. Easy to find. Very friendly and helpful folks and guide you to your site. Sites are level although not very wide. Not to many there so each side of us was vacant. Certainly would return here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Ok campground. Sites very close together. Under the interstate bridge on the river. You are taken to your site, the staff help you with backing in. The park is ok but we probably will not return because of the closeness of the sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One of my favorite places to camp. Very clean. Quiet. (security gates are locked after 10:00 pm) Daily trash pickup. Shopping mall across the street. I would recommend to anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very good campground. The host was very helpful & pleasant. I needed a part for my hitch and the host directed me to the nearest repair shop. The sites are small in width we couldn't put the awning out. It seem like the sites on the river were wider so we will pick one the next time we go there. There is lots to do in and around Gadsen, Al or you can just relax by the river. I have recommended this place to several friends to try. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The Christmas Lights thru out the park are magical. The sites are gravel and level but very narrow. Owner/managers are friendly. They led us to our site after hours. The park has 4 club houses, some with fireplaces. The club houses varied in size for groups. There is also a large convention center available. You can fish off the few docks on the waterfront. This park is good for rallies. Shopping is just a couple of miles away with a trolley available to mall area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

River Country Campground is a great camp ground. I usually stay in State Parks so my public camp ground experience is limited. But I was impressed. Level lots, utilities are all under ground. Lots of pull throughs. Sites right on the Coosa River. Put your garbage at the front of your site and they pick it up for you. And they have "wireless" internet services. They have a small chapel, a walk around the park that borders the river, clean facilities, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Although most sites do not have grass it is still a very pleasant stay. I will go back and
I recommend this site to anyone visiting that area or just passing through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Clean well kept park, staff friendly but not in any hurry. They didn't provide any information until prompted, then they gave more than needed. They escort you to your space, go slow many speed bumps. The holiday season brings a really nice light show throughout the park. Is on the Coosa River offering boating and fishing but don't eat the fish. The river is contaminated from agricultural and industrial run off. Excellent fishery for Flathead Catfish. The reasons I gave them a 2 is because the spaces are right on top of each other. The picnic tables between my site and the others had to be moved because they would not fit between the RV's. I could barely squeeze between the slideouts on the 3 slide class A and my slide. On the Weekends the place was full, and from 6 AM till 10 PM the kids were incredably active and demonstrated thier anunciation skills. The (nice) pool was so packed with kids swimming was not an option. My biggest pet peeve is that there is no shade. They should remove every 2nd and 3rd space and place some trees. Just outside the entrance you may meet some not so favorable people. They do lock the gates at night and they did have people (security??) riding around in golf carts. If you like crowded weekend CG's this is your dream. It is a good place to stay for a night off the highway, just make sure you do it M-Th. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
